Hi Jacques.

I've investigated this problem, and it turns out to be a bug in
Phusion Passenger Enterprise 3.9.0. I've issued a hotfix, which you
can download from the customer area. The version number has not
changed.

With kind regards,

The bug was caused by a typo. PASSENGER_USE_ROLLING_RESTARTS should be
PASSENGER_ROLLING_RESTARTS. If you're seeing
PASSENGER_USE_ROLLING_RESTARTS then that means you're still using the
old version. Could you check whether everything was correctly compiled
and reinstalled?
